Soon I will be hitting the cycle lanes on my first e-bike, and i would like to be well armed with witty repostes to irate cyclist, as i breeze past with a air of superiority, and would be grateful for any contributions that members could share.
Newbie about to hit the road

I hope you will not be 'hitting the cycle lanes' in the literal sense....
Witty repostes -
One I cannot mention, as the page may be viewed by minors.....
'Good Morning/Evening as I cruise past'
'I'll switch it on in a minute....' ( that stumps them..)
'It's a bit slow today, I should have charged it up a month ago'
' Do you need a license to wear apparel like that'
' it's amazing how well it goes on a PP3'

Politness is my middle name, I was refering to those cyclist who i have heard from other members that regard e-bike users as cheats etc, and would like to have something witty to reply back too.I do it apologetically, as they look surprised I just say "it's electric" with a smile. No point in raising ill feelings.
Oddly I never suffer those cyclists in my area. The only times I've heard a yell of cheating is from pedestrians, last time was from two little kids waiting at a bus stop!
People who shout 'Cheat' expect you to be on the defensive,
So, defeat them by replying, 'Yes, great isn't it'
